I'm 19, I've already pre-ordered my PS4, I pre-ordered it before Microsoft dropped their policies on always online/DRM, but now they dropped it I don't know where to turn. Where I live the Xbox 360 is more popular. Although the PS4 is £80 cheaper, one game that sticks out for me is Minecraft which ain't available on the PS4 (yet). What console is better and what console will be more popular? Which one should I choose?

You shouldn't go with what is "popular", you should go with whatever suits you the best. Like the games and whatnot. Don't be a sheep.
If Minecraft is something you need next gen, cancel your pre-order and go for the green guy. Sounds like you're heading that way anyway.
So use your PC and get a PS4
If you go to buy a console right now then you'd probably pick the one your mates have but no one has a PS4 or Xbox One right now so I don't see the merit in saying 'most people have a 360' as by that token everyone would have Nintendos as they are the oldest manufacturer of consoles who have a currently available console!
Early adoption is a bit like eating soup..... it gets cooler the longer you wait, dive in too early and you could get burned!
look up the exclusives on google and watch footage on youtube, decide which exclusives you like better and get that console its really simple
If you are going to spend £400+ on something then you and you alone should be deciding what you want
If you want to go down the technical route, PS4 is better does that mean in the long run it will have better games that you like, nobody can say
As for next gen I'm going for PS4. It appeals more to me and on top of that I don't want to fork out an extra £80 for Kinect which I hate anyway and I don't trust MS not to bring all their awful policies back once the X1 is in peoples homes.
It is a lot of money so think carefully.
As others have said basing your decision on a game like Minecraft might prove to be a mistake.
Both machines are going to give you a powerful gaming experience in the end.
My personal shout would be PS4 as I feel Microsoft have shown themselves to be somewhat anti-consumer.
/thread.
You can say go buy a PS3 or 360 on that basis because your friends already have them, but if everyone in your group of friends goes 'what do I buy, I'll get what everyone else gets' no one will buy anything because no one can make a decision.
Likewise, if you make a decision now it could shape what your other friends decide to purchase.
Had i bought what my friends got i'd of missed out on about 6/7+ of the greatest games i've ever played
Nobody should ever follow the crowd or go with what their friends get, for me that in itself is not a reason to get a console
Agree, it should be a personal choice, if at all possible.
Allegedly more coming at Gamescom, so maybe wait until August to make your final decision.
Or just get the PS4 it clearly is da bestist.
The guy seems to be a casual gamer. Hence my friends comments.
But the PS4 is the best console with the best game experiences without a doubt.
I like both personally, killer instinct ryse, forza or Quantum Break maybe a new fable or Alan Wake down the line, knack or infamous second son with God of War and Gran Turismo bound to come eventually and no doubt the PS4 is more than likely platform of choice for JRPG's in the future. Sony is making life easy for Indie developers more so than Microsoft too from the outset.
Microsofts need to do a policy u-turn and price settled it for me.
I think not, have you tried running Minecraft on a cheap laptop? It's 60FPS on Xbox 360.Though you could of course argue the PC game is better due to mods and no size restrictions but the 360 game has it's perks too (including local co-op) and it's more accessible, especially the crafting and is actually playable on a controller..
on the downside though, the xbox360 version is the equivalent of the version 1.1 on the PC. Which was released on January 2012 so it is 18 months behind and it doesn't look like it will ever catch up.
Next gen though may be different hopefully, but no official word yet. Dont forget Marcus Person has heavily hinted on a ps4 version but again no offical word.
afterwards 60/40
then i found out kingdom of heaven,ff15 and mgs are all coming out on xbox too
55/45 to sony
one would imagine xbox live and the controller will be better on Microsoft console(like they are now imo)
so im on a straight 50/50
not gonna buy at launch so i will see how they pan out.
DO NOT pre order anything lol
FIne on a Pentium P4 and yes it does do local shared worlds
OK My sons own a copy each and play it a lot.
They had a school friend take the mickey going on about the 360 version and how good it was, they retorted with all the things they could do, such as mods and huge shared servers with friends.
Basically a lot of Minecraft is missing from the 360 version.
